Sunday, by Timothy Liu

And when they sat down in the morning

to bowls of cold cereal, each in turn
would notice the blades of a ceiling fan
spinning at the bottom of their spoons,
small enough to swallow, yet no one
ever mentioned it, neither looking up
nor into each other's eyes for fear
of feeding the hunger that held them there.

  3. Hunger can make the most complex organisms forget the simplest details in the final moments.
    Great poem for I love how it creates an particular image I can barely describe.
